Personally, the switch to Aquarius felt a bit jarring. Maybe switch to the Legends version of Bloody Tears instead for the extension?

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

There we go, definitely feels much more natural. Could also serve as a treat for the fans too, I suppose.

Got the sword slash to a point I'm comfortable with.





His hand placements need work, but the sword itself looks pretty good.

Wow that looks really cool. Btw, I'm not sure if you mentioned this already, but what program are you using to make your game? Just curious.

Game Maker 8.0.

Also, and this is gonna sound retarded, I experimented with an idea I had - using vocals and SFX of Crispin Freeman in the Ultimate series (what copyright violations?) - in regards to Dracula's vocals, and since I already know exactly how I want the final battle to be, I came up with this...thing. Like it or hate it, it's a part of my creative process, so if it totally doesn't strike your fancy...I get it. I'm not apologizing, but I get it. Only things of notice are the first few seconds and the death scream at about 4:46.

Wow Dracula9! You really went the extra mile to produce a smooth sword swing! I'd like to see how you will handle the whip animations next!  :D

And with this, all the subweapons (except the Laurel, which I may or may not put in) are done.


Also, studying Esco's HACKED engine for AI coding. Got a weaker version of his Beast Dracula up and running fairly well, as well as getting into the 3D functions with the blackhole. These two things can be considered Alpha, as I really only need to change up the AI and attacks and fiddle around with some art lock so that I'm not essentially stealing Esco's hard work. Credit's heading his way, naturally, but I'm super excited over this (despite the boss being piss-easy), so I couldn't wait until after art lock and AI change before posting about it.

Also starting to get off my ass and get Simon's sheet done.

I'm really liking the final boss video despite the fact that it looks easy. I love the music for the final boss. It feels updated, but still fits for Haunted Castle.

Hey Dracula! The games looking really good so far. If you want, I could help with any weapon animations. The cross should stay going just straight across the screen. But it should have more of a natural throw, with power, like you would throw a ninja star. The whip animation also needs force behind it, that's why I don't like the animation style of CVChronicles or SCV4, because when they got to where the whip would hurt the enemy, they just... STOPPED. I have one that looks more like a Dracula X style attack. If you want it, PM me.

That depends. Is the sprite Simon's X68 outfit?

Also, the cross WOULD go that fast, if the dagger didn't do that already. I could always replace the dagger with it, though...

AI updated.

Yes, it is. In fact, here is the animation. The Air-effect needs some work though. As for the cross, I think Simon * should throw it sideways, kinda like you would throw a ninja star.

*Also, when, or if, is there going to be a demo?

Sick.

Beast needs more roaring sound effects and a screen shake with the stomp would help.

Other than that loving those charge attacks from the Beast!
